Your source is jumping big between the facts too
The last paragraph:

> FSB representatives served on the board of at least one of banks that wired billions out of Russia as did Igor Putin, Putin’s cousin. He was a manager and executive board member in the Russian Land Bank. This bank wired more than $9.7 billion to Moldindconbank in Moldova, most of which went on to Trasta Komercbanka and from there on to the world.

So, how this is considered to be corruption if money are moved to somewhere? Isn't it what every government is doing, including various US funds helping all kinds of crooks abroad?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_laundering

> Money laundering is the illegal process of concealing the origins of money obtained illegally by passing it through a complex sequence of banking transfers or commercial transactions. The overall scheme of this process returns the money to the launderer in an obscure and indirect way.

How this proves that the money

1) has been moved 'illegally' (which authority is responsible)

2) linked to Putin's family personally

3) linked to the 'uncovered' scheme

This is what I call jumping between the facts

there's plenty more if you want to know how these crooks use shady schemes to steal from russian citizens and move it semi-legally out of russia to have nice places to retire to

of course if the only evidence you will accept is putin himself bringing you incriminating documents with his signatures - i got nothing to offer.
